Boston Scientific Corporation — This is a device enforcement record. Check whether the remedy is a correction, a software update or a removal before changing anything.

  1. Match the model, catalogue, lot and serial numbers on your device against the identifiers on this page.
  2. If the device is implanted or you depend on it daily, speak to your clinician before changing how you use it.
  3. Ask the supplier or clinic that provided it what the remedy is in your case.

Replacements, repairs and reimbursement

Device remedies run through the supply chain, so the route depends on who sold you the unit.

  • Contact the distributor or clinic named on your paperwork and quote the recall number on this page. They will tell you whether the remedy is a repair, a replacement or an instruction update.
  • If the device was billed to insurance or Medicare, the replacement is usually billed the same way; you should not face a second deductible for a recall.
  • Keep every piece of correspondence. If a recalled device caused harm, that paper trail is what a claim rests on.
  • Consumer-purchased devices such as monitors and test kits are normally replaced free, with return shipping paid.
